Differing opinions don't normally require such venom. Clearly I've struck a nerve for you behave thusly. Perhaps you should evaluate yourself for why you're responding so.

Our opinions are clearly different as I would imagine our parenting styles do as well. I don't see that as reason or justification for you to lose your civility. But hey, please continue to reflect upon yourself the apparent discomfort my thoughts on the matter have caused you.

Bless your heart.

#1 Quit calling her a baby. If she's made it to college she deserves more respect, Lionessa Feb 2013 #3

Sad response. Bonobo Feb 2013 #4

It is deserved because very few would call a son their baby, it seems mostly for women and used Lionessa Feb 2013 #7

I would say that mothers call their children their "baby" much more than men kdmorris Feb 2013 #15

Oh you're the gun "person" with the attitude. Just remembered. Bonobo Feb 2013 #5

Would you be calling your son a baby if he was the first to go? Very sexist to call women babies. Lionessa Feb 2013 #6

Absolutely, both my sons are my babies as well. Bonobo Feb 2013 #8

OMG, my children would beat me silly if I disrespected them in that way. Lionessa Feb 2013 #10

Sorry to hear that your children would beat you for that. Bonobo Feb 2013 #11

Ha! As if you didn't jump on a nice thread attacking me. nt Bonobo Feb 2013 #14

If supporting your daughter's mature success and adulthood makes you feel attacked, Lionessa Feb 2013 #18

Anyone reading this thread would conclude, as I did, that your attack on me was WAY out of line. Bonobo Feb 2013 #19
